Use exhibitionism. Explain what it is and why you find it most intresting.

Answer 1

Exhibitionistic disorder involves exposing one's genitals or sexual organs to a non-consenting person, usually strangers. While some exhibitionists are aware of a conscious desire to shock or upset their target; while others fantasize that the target will become sexually aroused by their display. What is particularly interesting about exhibitionism is that it is one of the three most common sexual offenses in police records, with almost all cases involving males.
